Do you recommend FOP38 to use mobo fan header

if you're using that highspeed delta fan don't use the fan header. People have reported that the fan will burn out the headers on the mobo
 
I agree with Dave to use the PSU connector instead. One question, how d'you use the fan monitoring then?
 
the thing is i have no more PSU connectors and i have not bought any spliter yet

i wonder it is safe to plug it on the mobo fan header

now i am using the connector of my cdrom to run the delta fan
 
Most Socket A mobo's are made for a 4watt+ fan to be hooked up to the mobo headers.
hence you are perfectly safe.

Fan
Operation Voltage DC 7V ~ 13.8V
Rated Voltage DC 12V
Rated Current DC 0.32A (MAX0.48)
Input Power 3.84WATT (MAX5.76)
Bearing System Two Ball Bearing
Fan Speed 6800 RPM+/- 10%
Air Delivery 37.6CFM
Noise Level 46.5 Dba
MTBF(life) 70000 hours /40°C
Fan Safety CE, UL, TUV,CSA Approved
Fan with RPM signal output Yes


the input power is 3.84Watt and max is 5.76

so the mobo fan header can stan such high power??
 
The FOP32 will have no problems using the fan header but I know of several instances where the FOP38 has burned the mobo header out.
 
be careful here. The newer Abit boards (KT7 series) have a 6 watt supply per fan header. The older/other Abit boards have a 4 watt header.
 
I use to run the Fop38 off my motherboard fan header until I bought a 3pin to molex connector and plugged the fan into that.
